IMHO I think the problem mostly lies in understaffing when it comes to keeping things running, updating old things, installing new things, helping users, recovering broken things, etc.... and then there is audit work...
You can meet all the paperwork, process, etc.. for all of the above, if there were 28 hours a day to do it all, or a properly staffed IT department. Unfortunately, most places have neither.
...the value of having an extendable utilitarian linux distro in their wallet, credit card sized and 7 grams in weight, that will work pretty much on any tray load CD PC?
I've used it to show off linux, test garage sale finds, check email in a pinch at a friends house without changing their system at all, troubleshoot sick systems, etc...
